Fountain pens have a steep dropoff in writing quality once you get to gold nibs. The smoothest one I can justify spending money on and currently still own one is the lamy 2000, anything more and you are really just paying for superior materials and craftsmanship
Some of the sub $10, cheap pens do pretty well but there’s no comparison in hand. Quality feels like quality. Like they say, once youve owned a Rolex, you can recognize a fake one. I’ve been debating on selling off all my cheap stuff and focus on chasing grails.
Tbh I love fountain pens and collecting them ,but since the ballpoint pens - ( your everyday normal pen)- came in fountain pens turned into a more luxurious vintage thing . Like old cars and there are some cheap or middle prices one’s good for use . So in conclusion a 1000 dollars pen or 1 dollar pen it depends on the person it doesn’t improve your handwriting magically yes there is a difference between them , but if you want to learn calligraphy or improve your handwriting cheap or middle one’s is good the expensive one’s may have one or two more things or just golden nib etc….. In the end thx for reading this and ( sorry for my bad English).
I still remember when I was promoted in 5th grade writing with the pen was started everybody bought expensive pens not that expensive almost 1 or 2 dollars ( 50 to 150 rupees) I wanted one too but my parent didn't buy one for me saying u should not have a habit of writting with expensive pens. I write with a 5 rupees to 10 rupees pen max is 20 rupees I bought a trimax at the starting of 6th of 50 rupees but still my parents scold me lot and I think they are right ..
@@HemingwayJones I have a Hero pen almost just like that one, except in green. It has a rubber sack of some sort for a converter. I haven't looked at it since before the pandemic, and I can't remember if there's metal around the sack or not.
As a native-born lifelong Texan I've heard my share of comments about my accent. You seem to be in a unique position to answer a question I've always had about those comments. Why the 'ell does anyone care, guv'nor?
I love my cheap pilot Prera, but that Cartier pen is stunning, ngl
Thank you very much, Marina! Much appreciated!
Anda, the most important thing... How it writes? Is 300 times better?
In this instance the $3 pen is complete rubbish.
@@HemingwayJonesi have that pen i can confirm

Im looking for a good fountain pen thats extra fine is the moonman a1 worth it or what would you suggest for $50

You did great. Very well written. I agree; it's not about the price. It's all about the connection and the inspiration. Thanks so much for watching.
You look like ice from top gun maverick
Well, this was completely content free🙄
Why you don’t try Indian fountain pens ??
I do! I love them. Ranga, FPR, Magna Carta. They are awesome.
@@HemingwayJones Kanwrite desire , Kanwrite heritage , click yen , click Renaissance, gama , asa nauka a great design inspired by ship , click Aristrocrat etc
@@grandpafountainpenreviews9554 Sounds wonderful, thank you!
And they both write 😂
Though I was gonna see some writing...
I use a dollar pen in india.. it is quite a lot
There are amazing fountain pen makers in India.
1000$ is more than 82 000 in india
It’s expensive for certain. All the best.
I have a 0.24 dollar fountain pen 🖋 🤣
There is nothing at all wrong with inexpensive pens. I love them.
@Hemingway Jones Yes it is very smooth I brought it from a store in India
@@shainilanaaz9561 India has amazing products. I love Krishna Inks and Ayush paper.Also, Ranga pens. Awesome stuff!
@@HemingwayJones 😃

That is not a hero pen. That is just some hooded nib pen. A hero pen has a signature v at the hood.
It is vintage dead stock.

What are you talking about? My wife is British and I sound nothing like her.
Yeah what are you talking about?
